Courtney
Hahipene
Mother, artist, yoga teacher, retreat host and forever student, Courtney has been a devoted student on the path of yoga for 17 years. After studying Performing Arts at W.A.A.P.A and dancing around the world an injury redirected her attention inward. Her passion for asana, tantra and philosophy weave into her teachings as she continues to explore and expand.
Courtney is the founder of In School Yoga, bringing yoga and meditation into Perth Schools.
Courtney’s energy and teaching style is warm and authentic, her classes are a balance of heat and heart, always leaving her students with a warm glow.
Stacey
MacKintosh
Stacey teaches traditional hatha-flow and ashtanga yoga and has been hosting yoga retreats since 2019.
Stacey has been a devoted student of yoga for over 20 years.
In her hatha-flow classes she is devoted to service: holding space for those who require gentle rejuvenation, adjusting poses to meet the limitations of those in physical recovery and feeling out the energy of each class to create an experience where her students are able to deeply attune to the inherent wisdom of their bodies.
Stacey has a generosity of spirit that inspires her students to fall in love with yoga too, and she leads by example, being genuinely committed to her own practice.
Celesta Wijaya
Celesta is a yoga therapist and teacher with over a decade of experience supporting people of all ages to feel calmer, connected, and at home in their bodies—especially during times of stress, change, or overwhelm.
Alongside working one-on-one with adults, she's also passionate about teaching teenagers, helping them build emotional resilience, confidence, and self-awareness through mindful movement and breathing. Her classes for teens are supportive, down-to-earth, and practical—offering tools they can carry into daily life, school pressures, friendships, and the challenges of growing up.
Her approach is gentle, steady, and deeply human. She creates a space where you can breathe, soften, rebuild strength, and reconnect with yourself—without pressure to “perform” or be perfect. She believes yoga is not about being flexible or doing the fanciest poses—it’s about learning to listen inward, regulate the nervous system, and meet yourself with kindness.
Anita emor
Anita is a vocalist and musician who came across Sound Baths whilst living in Los Angleles in 2018, where she discovered the transformative effects of sound and meditation through the resonant frequencies of crystal bowls and gongs.
Returning to Perth, Anita felt a deep urge to create safe spaces for healing. Now a certified teacher, she continues to use her passion and knowledge of music to calm nervous systems all over Perth.
We are grateful to have her on the team, these sessions are an absolute favourite amongst students!
